New members will go through an initial education process. This is set up for new members to learn about fraternity life, the history of Adelante, as well as the Greek Community at Iowa State.
Each week, new Adelantes meet with the New Member Educator in a relaxed meeting to get accustomed to Adelante and bond with their fellow brothers.
Along with having a close bond with their brothers, new members are adopted into a “family” by a New Member Father. The Father is there to guide in helping them through the process, and also being an aid to them in whatever they may need from academic to personal needs.
The New MemberFather/Son/Family bond is one of the closest bonds a member will have at Adelante, and it will continue for the rest of their life.
Adelante proudly has a no hazing policy. Hazing is against Adelante and Iowa State University laws, rules, and standards. At Adelante, we believe that hazing goes completely against what we are trying to do: build a successful and lasting brotherhood.
Hazing will absolutely not be tolerated and anti-hazing policies are strictly enforced throughout recruitment, new member education, and activation.
Adelante offers several scholarship opportunities each semester.
These scholarships are possible because of the Adelante Education Foundation. We cannot thank them enough for their continued support.
One question many wonder about is the cost.
Our rate at Adelante is approximately $3,600 per semester. This cost covers room and board, and 10 catered meals a week. This is cheaper than living in the dorms and is about the same price as a middle priced apartment/house. Out-of-house membership fee is approximately $500.
